P.S I Love You

I watched this movie again, for the second time. And still, nangis kat part yang sama. I've read the novel first, so masa baca pun dah nangis apatah lagi tengok ceritanya. Jalan cerita novel & movie ada sikit perbezaan, so for P.S I Love You, I love both the novel & movie.

First time tengok movie nie, I went to the cinema with my best friend, Sabrina. Almost everyone watching this movie cried, especially masa part Holly called Gerry's phone number, just to hear his voice (voice mail). Sabrina told me she did the same thing when she lost her brother, the only younger bro for her. Well, banyak lagi parts yang boleh menyebabkan penonton menitiskan air mata. So, I would recommend everyone to watch this movie. I managed to make my hubby watched this movie too (mana dia layan romance movies, sebab tue masa nak tengok movie nie kat cinema dia bagi I pergi dengan Sabrina)....


I got the novel - with this cover....


The movie's cover....Ok, the review provided below is taken from wikipedia.

Plot summary

Set in Ireland, Holly Kennedy is beautiful, smart and married to the love of her life - a passionate, funny and impetuous Irishman named Gerry. So when Gerry's life is taken by an illness, it takes the life out of Holly. The only one who can help her is the person who is no longer there. Nobody knows Holly better than Gerry, so it's a good thing he planned ahead. Before he died, Gerry wrote Holly a series of 10 letters that will guide her, not only through her grief but in rediscovering herself. The messages are Gerry's way of informing Holly life goes on. The messages include various tasks and treats Gerry has left for Holly. This is his way of letting her know he will always be there for her. Each letter sends her on a new adventure and each signs off in the same way: "P.S. I Love You." Holly's mother and best friends, Sharon and Denise, begin to worry that Gerry's letters are keeping Holly tied to the past, but, in fact, each letter is pushing her further into a new future. With Gerry's words as her guide, Holly embarks on a journey of rediscovery in a story about marriage, friendship and how a love so strong can turn the finality of death into new beginning for life.

Differences Between Novel & Film Adaptation

The most major difference between the novel and its film adaptation is that in the novel, main characters Holly and Gerry Kennedy are both Irish, while in the film, only Gerry is Irish and the two live in New York. Also in the novel, Holly has numerous siblings, but in the film she has one. In the film, Jeffrey Dean Morgan plays William, a character who does not exist in the book. However, the film remains fairly true to the novel, and all of Gerry's letters are virtually unchanged.

Hey there, I loved this movie, Gerry is such a hottie and the idea behind it is so sweet! If you ever wanted to do it for real, I found an awesome site called www.farawayfish.com, where you can store a profile all about your life, and even save emails to be sent out to your loved ones after you've passed away. So romantic!

To Do....

There are several things to do before 22nd June 2008. I'm quite busy now with the registration preparation, with everything else too. I did the medical check-up yesterday but the full results (especially some of the tests needed on my urine and blood) are not ready yet. The staff told me to contact Pusat Rawatan Islam Az-Zahrah tomorrow (Wednesday) to confirm whether the remaining results of the blood and urine tests are ready or not before I can come to collect it (must see the doctor again). Alhamdulillah, so far so good. My chest x-ray looks good, no drugs detected in my urine etc. UUM new postgraduate registration will be on the 22nd June (Sunday). Before the registration, I need to fill in several forms, prepare the original copy of all the certificates needed by them (academic transcripts etc.). I also need to obtain the financial affidavit from my sponsors and the letter of release from my organization. I really hope that I'll manage to settle these two important things ...

Sisters (Danielle Steel)

I've read this novel and it was very interesting. This novel is about four sisters-Sabrina, Tammy, Annie, and Candy. They are very close to each other and they really care about their parents very much. Sabrina-the eldest, is an ambitious young lawyer, Tammy-the second, is a successful t.v. show producer, Annie-the third sister, is an American artist in Florence (she likes art very much) and Candy-the youngest, is a fashion's latest international supermodel. Although they are very busy with their career, they always make sure that they spend Fourth of July weekend together, with their parents at their parents' house. However, something happened unexpectedly and changed their life forever. Want to know more about the story in this novel? I guess it is better for you to read it. Highly recommended. Below is the summary taken from Danielle Steel's website: Four sisters, a Manhattan brownstone, and a tumultuous year of loss and courage are at the heart of Danielle Steel’...
